A shopping centre security officer, Gavin Plumb, is set to stand trial in Chelmsford Crown Court, accused of a chilling plot to kidnap and murder TV presenter Holly Willoughby. Plumb faces charges of soliciting murder and incitement to commit kidnap.
The 37-year-old allegedly conspired online with another man, David Nelson, who was to travel from the US to the UK. Together, they created a “detailed plan” for the alleged offences, including assembling a “kidnap and restraint kit.”
Plumb, hailing from Harlow, Essex, has denied all charges during an earlier hearing. The trial is scheduled to begin on Monday and is estimated to last approximately two weeks.
